Hello,
I have a volvo penta 90 (~9hp outboard) that I am unable to get to run w/o the choke on (though the choke only needs to be open a tiny bit). I notice after I run her for a bit with the choke open a bit there is some fuel dripping out of the throat of the carb. I have cleaned the carb (including freeze plugs, etc) four times and always get the same result (well, the first time after I cleaned it it ran from not running, so that was some progress). It is an older carb and I am unable to find replacement needles/etc. and am wondering if possibly there is a bad seat somewhere.
Anyway, given the scarcity of parts and the fact that I am sick of tearing this carb down, I was wondering if it is possible to take another carb from a different, similarly sized, outboard that has the same intake manifold bolt sizing and just hook that up to the volvo? If so, any tips on finding a suitable replacement carb?
Thanks!
